Literally the easiest and most simple to verify.

"Journalists" pretending it's complicated are either retarded or.. well.. retarded.

For any non-technical pedes, this is very easy to do. You make a disk image that exists as a file. Extremely easy to verify authenticity via hashing.

Graham, Romney, Sasse, McConnell, et. al.

Not like there were many comments worth reading lately anyway.

Still sad to think about reddit in 2010 versus reddit today though. Sorting by controversial was the only thing that made the move from showing total up/down votes somewhat tolerable.

Not surprising though. Especially with the Hunter leaks being forecast, they need to ensure that the narrative is only dictated by myself (me, PoppinKREAM).

Hopefully this will raise an eyebrow for any left leaning skeptics, if anything.

Its not an actual attempt to be unbiased. Its to give the left the ability to claim that any criticism is partisan because "hurrrr is unbiased doe"

Lol dammit! 🤣

I'm goody over it. edit: giddy* lmao

I'm tired of low energy black pullers whining that the bomb isn't dropping on a Friday, which is literally the worst time to drop the big one.

I know that people are creaming their panties over getting to post "tick tock" sarcastically, but Giuliani has the fucking goods. He literally said that Monday is the day, which is the only day you should drop a bombshell.

Eat my hairy ass, Fauci.

I'll bet this is the point. Then, drop the "oh yeah btw Joe got Biden off the hook for the kiddie fucking."

Reel em in, and then fuck em up.

Confirms authenticity. Friday is always a slow news day.

It'll break Monday.

My guy you are really mad over the fact that my soon-to-be brother in law is an irrational lunatic experiencing peak TDS.

I don't even know how you managed to rant about WuFlu since it has no relevance to anything I've said, but my point is simply that he's so off the deep end that it's not worth the effort to get into it with him at this point. He's straight up deluded. That's all.

I dont understand how you can rationalize being this agitated over it.

For what it's worth, I'm in deep blue territory. It's inanity over here.

Unfortunately nothing can happen until 230 is less vague. Its bullshit, but they'd be able to wriggle their way out of it.

I feel you on all fronts, but especially:

It is also a colossal pain in the ass to get the prescription filled.

Good God this fucking irkes me. After 3 years of no issues I should be allowed to have more than a 30 day supply. Hell, ill take the 30 day if I can get a refill without waiting until the very last second by law and contact the office every single time.

If it weren't such close quarters then absolutely. But I've had long talks with my fiancé about it. He's off his rocker as far as the topic is concerned, so I don't see the benefit of poking the nest.

Edit - a good way to explain it is:

Imagine your cousin is severely autistic and can't stand hearing "happy birthday," but you can't exclude him from the party and he'll shit on your floor if he doesn't get to see the cake come out.

Its unfair and ridiculous, and you wish your aunt would figure something out, but he's that autistic that everyone is dumbfounded on what to do. Sure, you can sing happy birthday, but it won't be worth cleaning the mountain of shit he drops on the shag rug.

Lmao I'm aware. I meant that the distinction is arbitrary in either case.

Its funny to basically concede on that point with lefties, follow it up with "okay then cool, let's avoid the social construct and not give it power!" and watch them melt down trying to rectify the idea that its an arbitrary distinction, but that it has to be strictly upheld to promote "anti racism."

There's a deeper conversation on the social construct thing, but it depends on the definition. For example, math is a social construct. It's not real even though for practical purposes, it basically is real.

"Black" is a "construct" used to describe races that have a certain amount of melanin in their skin. Africans are from Africa, Jamaicans are from Jamaica, Kenyans from Kenya, etc. There's a genetic component that correlates to the "construct" of black, but it doesn't make it a useless distinction.

The core issue is that the left uses "social construct" as a synonym for "arbitrary/pointless." But they're anything but. Hell, *languagaj is a social construct, but we don't say that language doesn't exist.

Sorry for the long response. I'm feeling it today lol.

Jesus Christ, no one actually wants to scrap 230 entirely.

An ammendment saying that websites using federal grants who wish to maintain the protections must abide by the Constitution or else they're at risk of being held liable for the content that's being posted.

If you want to be a platform and enjoy protections, you're a platform and may not censor speech that is not breaking the law.

If you want to be a publisher by editing content to fit a particular ideology that does not align with base constitutional rights, you better get hiring because you're on the hook for the CP.

No more strattling the line. No benefits of both without the consequences of either. You pick one and stick to it.

Repealing it entirely isn't the goal. One little asterisk is all we need.

My first thought as well.

No matter how well sourced or analyzed, Breitbart articles are like throwing paper planes at a tank when it comes to flipping libbys.

Right?

Are you funny? Are you relatively kind? Are you fun to hang with?

Everything else couldn't possibly matter less in my eyes. Its crazy that preaching color blindness is viewed as racism today.

But nope, race is a social construct that white people made but don't you dare decide to ignore it. Apparently the only way to fight these "social constructs" is to adhere to them like natural law.

I read White Fragility twice.

The only way someone could possibly find value in the disgusting racism that D'Angelo projects onto other whites is if you agree with the idea that being White is inherently better than being black in every and every case.

It's not even clever in how it tries to push ass-backwards ideas on people. It's just blatantly promoting racism, but instead of pushing for lynch mobs it pushes for treating blacks like vulnerable infants.

I still stand by the idea that white liberal women are as racist as they come.

Its like they have a script for talking to minorities. Conservatives in my experience get on pretty well with more demographics on a one-to-one basis because they don't change their approach depending on what someone looks like.

How many do you think are controlled by reddit directly?

I've gotten a shit ton of emails out of nowhere asking me to confirm my address for accounts I had years ago. I ignored them at first, but I realized that the ones I logged into just to take a trip to the past stopped getting them - while the ones I never accessed continue to get bombarded with notices to confirm.

Makes me think they're probing to see which previously-active accounts are safe to use as bots. It's tough to put together an organic fake commenting history, so abandoned accounts that have some meat on them are likely worth it to give away to grifters.

My fiancé's brother thinks exactly like these deluded lunatics.

The mental gymnastics he puts himself through to come to conclusions like these baffles me to the point that even the slightest suggestion that Trump isn't getting us into wars, isn't stupid, isn't racist, or that Biden is demented (he straight up cried talking about the "stutter") results in a full blown temper tantrum. It's like he's genuinely sick. CNN is his number 1 source and he loves the anchors. It's like trying to convince a schizo that no, the CIA is not tracking you. It's so unbelievably bizarre.

I've held my tongue for a long time since, as unfair as it is, it would destroy my fiancé if he were to cut us off. But God damn, come election night I can't wait to hear him fucking lose it.

For anyone who thinks its bullshit to not say anything, it's just not worth it. I've learned to pick my battles. If someone sounds open to the suggestion that Trump isn't as bad as they assume, I go in hard and have flipped plenty of people to our side. When they're literally suffering some new type of disorder because they just can't fathom that cable news would push propaganda on them, it just makes shit awkward and puts my fiancé in a tough spot.

But wheeeeew-fucking-whee I will revel in the tears when we win. Its almost as exciting as the DNC nuke we're about to witness from Giuliani.

Edit: since I'm already at it, the weirdest thing is that he's incredibly smart. Anything that isn't political, he's a god damned genius. As soon as politics gets involved, he straight up becomes unrecognizable with how irrational he gets. TDS is a great meme but it's fucking real.

To those who want the details right now, consider the strategy that has to be followed.

Late-in-the-week releases are garbage by nature. The news only gives a shit about what happens on Monday or Tuesday, and stories that break during those earlier days are usually staged that way so that they can maintain exposure during the week. I know we all refresh this site every 4 minutes, but most people use the weekend to decompress. They don't grab a paper or browse the headlines like they typically would while grlearing up for work. They're off, and overall they'll miss most of what happens over a weekend.

But Monday releases, they stick well. People start and end their week watching a story develop into an unstoppable snowball.

Blowing your load all at once is the opposite of why Breitbart was such an effective soldier. You hold your cards close and drip a few details. The goal is to put just enough out to generate questions, and ideally they'll be addressed in such a way that you can parry and counter punch with the receipts that prove their defense as a lie.

When you're accused of something like this the only thing you can do is to deny it. If you know the totality of what you need to deny, you can get away with it more easily. When you're left in the dark, you have to gamble and hope that you're not going to be immediately contradicted and look even worse than you had before.

This is why Bidens lawyer asked for the hard drive. They have no fucking clue what they're dealing with. Hunter was a crack head at the time and probably doesn't remember what he scrubbed and what he hasn't.

I want the dirty details just as bad as you, but Giuliani knows how to make an impact. I think they're going about this as well as anyone could be.

It's Friday. Good news rarely breaks in a Friday.

I bet we haven't even scratched the surface. This is mostly a confirmation that the hard drive isn't fraudulent.
